The value of the fraction 3c+2/4 one less than the value of the fraction 5c-1/3.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

7/8 > 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 7/8

We can compare this as follows.

Lets say both are equal.

Cross multiplying these we get 40=42

We get 40<42. In fraction we get

In case if you want to convert this to decimal, we get;

5/6 = 0.833 and 7/8 = 0.875

We get 5/6<7/8

B) 4/5

Similarly we get 4/5 = 0.8 and 5/6 = 0.833

Here 4/5<5/6

C) 3/4

we get 3/4 = 0.75 and 5/6 = 0.833

3/4<5/6

D) 2/3

we get 2/3 = 0.66 and 5/6 = 0.833

2/3<5/6

The probability of winning on an arcade game is 0.568. If you play the arcade game 22 times, what is the probability of winning
Serggg [28]

The probability of winning 15 out of the 22 games is P = 0.099

<h3>what is the probability of winning more than 15 times?</h3>

We know that the probability of winning on the arcade game is 0.568.

Then the probability of losing is:

P = 1 - 0.568 = 0.432

The probability of winning 15 out of 22 games is given by the equation:

P = C(22, 15)*(0.568)^{15}*(0.432)^{7}

Where C(22, 15) is the number of combinations of 15 elements that we can make with a set of 22 elements, given by:

C(22, 15) = \frac{22!}{(22 - 15)!*15!}  = \frac{22!}{7!*15!} = \frac{22*21*20*19*18*17*16}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1} = 170,544

Then the probability is:

P = 170,544*(0.568)^{15}*(0.432)^7 = 0.099

Suppose you pay $24 for a pair of shoes that has been discounted 20%. What is the original price of the shoes? Show how you iden
kozerog [31]
Since the discount is 20%, we know that $24 is 80% or 4/5 of the original price of the shoes. Divide the $24 by 20%, and you get $6. Add that to $24, and you get the original shoe price: $30. You can verify by Multiply 30 by 80%, which comes out to the discount price-$24.

Which of the following is a true statement? (round to the nearest tenth as needed) If -2 + v = 16, then v = 14 If -2 + v = 16, t
rosijanka [135]
In the first statement, it is false. -2+14 would not add up to 16.
In the third statement, it is false. -8+-2 would not add up to 16.
In the fourth statement, it is false. -2-14 would not add up to 16.
So the second statement is true -2+18=16.
